i work in a print shopwe print a little magazine called'short fast and loud'a while back there was a add for Deep Six Recordslisted in that add was this album i thought to myself'hmmm wonder what that sounds like'ordered it through midheaven.commy face melted off the second this brutalness came through my earholes

fuck V-day? why it sounds like fun if you celebrate it like it was mean to be:

It's based on one of the more sacred and bloody mayan holidays found on the "Aztec calendar". History tells us of a two day orgy of sacrifice, where up to 84, 000 lives were sacrificed, according to Ahuitzotl, the great speaker himself. This took place at the great pyramid of Tenochtitlan on February 14th and 15th, 1487.

At this point the details are fuzzy at best, since many of the ancient paintings and carvings were altered by the catholic church during the lesser known, but equally murderous Central American crusades, which have been all but ignored by Hollywood. From what we can tell, based on various prison tattoos and illustrations found in publications like Lowrider magazine, the heart would be held up to the sun in a symbolic manner before it was placed on a plate of chocolate (usually 70% cacao or higher) and poblano chiles before it was pierced and skewered by one long stem red rose. That's right, just one rose, and not a dozen, but there were twelve elders, mostly shamans and astrologers, who would collect the excess blood from the bodies. That blood was mixed with traditional spices and fruit juices, then consumed luke warm by the shaman, who also ate massive amounts of mescaline, which had nothing to do with this particular ceremony really, but it was all good times. The shamans chanted and danced for hours to the pulsing drumbeats of their blood bathed psychedelic hallucinations, and at the end of the trip, they would present roses, that only they could see, to those who were pure of mind and body. Virgins? Probably.

That sounds great but here in the states it means you buy shit for your significant other or else you are a dick. Even little kids with no sense of the romantic are forced to exchange cards in school. Supposedly the holiday as it is now was started by a greeting card company, go figure.

What it's about.

It's about sharing hard to find and special recordings. It's not about taking anything away from the artists themselves. Of course if something is in print and you like it, buy it. If you have legitimate claim to something posted here and want it removed, just write me and I'll do so. It's definitely not about furthering any sort of political agenda, you might find some things here that you don't agree with. The views of the bands are their own and don't necessarily reflect my ideology or political views. Of course comments and suggestions are welcomed, but don't be hurt if they aren't responded to or taken. I will do my absolute best to be accomidating. Want to contact me? Do it here:
